All visitors to Kingston University must pre-book parking through the person they are visiting.

Parking enforcement measures are in operation at all sites so all visitors must display a visitor permit, which are available from campus receptions. Please note that parking control notices (PCNs) will be issued for any vehicles not displaying a valid permit during the stated times or where a vehicle is parked in breach of the on-site instructions. Any parking on a university site is at the user's own risk. The University accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to any personal property brought onto our sites.

Parking is limited and you may have to use one of the public pay-and-display car parks in Kingston, such as Bittoms and The Rose. For further information, visit the Kingston Council website.
